1. All smiles
In interviews with the “Today” show and “Dateline” set to air Thursday, Britney Spears says her marriage is “awesome.” She says Kevin will feel the same way just as soon as she pays him his allowance.
2. Cold comfort
And on Friday, Meredith Vieira marked her last show on “The View” by helping her co-hosts plow through 30,000 pints of ice cream.
3. You’re a winner
“Jersey Boys” won the Tony Award for best musical last night, mostly because voters were relieved to know that Ben Affleck had nothing to do with it.
4. We’re expecting you
The year is 1983, and Alan Cumming and Cyndi Lauper are just stepping off “The Love Boat.”
5. Rated ‘bleh’
Noticeably absent from Entertainment Weekly’s list of the most controversial movies of all-time: “Malibu’s Most Wanted,” which offended pretty much everybody with an IQ above 10.
6. Walk away
I think everybody supports Lindsay Lohan’s decision to stop making kids movies. And whenever she’s ready to give up all other movie acting, she should know we’ll still be behind her 100 percent.
7. Getting animated
“Cars” topped the box office over the weekend, but then, all these movies with cartoon characters are opening at No. 1. “Ice Age,” “Mission: Impossible III” …
8. Problem child
Pete Doherty has checked into a detox clinic, his lawyer says, so there’s a good chance he won’t get arrested on drug charges for, like, two and a half days.
9. Fear factor
Mariah Carey calls the director of her latest movie a “risk-taker.” No, a lion trainer is a risk-taker. This guy’s flirting with Armageddon.
